Cloudflare vs. Perplexity

I don't know why, but this article reads like it's written by ChatGPT (not saying it is!).

Anyway, I find this debate fascinating. On one hand, Perplexity's behavior is sketchy. On the other hand, it really feels like Cloudflare wants to be a middleman to the web and collect a 30% fee, which seems like a bad idea.

It definitely looks like someone gave an LLM the Cloudflare article and asked it to put it in other words.

On the other hand, it has mistakes I wouldn't expect from AI, like writing "Here's how Cloudflare bypasses Perplexity's crawling", which is the wrong way around.
